Female Farmers Protesting in South Africa

Women in South Africa have marched to parliament to denounce the country’s “slow and unbalance” land redistribution. They say, if their access to land does not improve they will not vote in the country’s 22 April general elections.

The protest is supported by a non government organization which campaigns on behalf of farmers. The Surplus People Project believes provision of land to small scale farmers, bring transformation of agriculture away from the monopoly of an elite st minority.
